Estando eu a querer completar as coleções que não consegui em miúda, decidi reler para saber se a autora valia a pena o investimento.
• "On Dublin Street", nome original, passasse nessa rua de Edimburgo, Escócia. A nossa protagonista, Joss, é uma americana que foge aos 18 anos para a terra natal da sua mãe e tem vivido lá por 4 anos.
No prólogo, ficamos a conhecer o incidente que a traumatizou aos 14 anos e tornou numa jovem que fecha as suas emoções das pessoas com quem convive.
- Que acredita estar bem é sozinha.
Quando precisa de mudar de casa, apesar de ter uma boa herança, ela prefer partilhar casa a comprar e é aí que conhece Ellie, a sua nova colega de casa e o dono do apartamento, o Branden.
Esta dupla de irmãos começa a quebrar as barreiras que Joss foi impondo no seu coração. Ellie pelo seu bom coração, Branden com a sua sedução.
• Os pontos que sei que eu gostei no passado e continuei a gostar foram:
> as troupes - irmão da amiga e friends with benefits;
> a Joss ter uma língua afiada e não se deixar seduzir facilmente;
> as sessões com a psicóloga;
> as descrições dos ataques de pânico;
> e como a maneira de agir de Joss com os outros ao longo do livro é fiel aos seus medos.
• O ponto que eu, com 25 anos, detestei foi:
> "Homem das cavernas", uma expressão que rolou mais do que uma vez e descreve os interesses românticos: eram brutos e imponham a sua forma física intimidante para conseguir o que queriam, controladores, ciumentos e possessivos, calavam discussões com sexo, etc.
• Se não fosse pelas relações tóxicas mascaradas de romance sedutor e intenso, eu teria gostado do progresso psicológico das personagens e o apoio emocional entre eles.
